Hello, Michael.

How are things going?

I’m a former portfolio manager and currently work as a financial advisor in Brazil. I initially came across the “trend following philosophy” through Dr. Alexander Elder’s book, “Trading for a Living.” Since then, I have been following your podcast and I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide me with the necessary steps to delve deeper into this approach. Could you kindly send them to me?

Thank you and best regards,
Andre F.

Sent!

My guest today is Gladys McGarey, cofounder of the American Holistic Medical Association. Over the past sixty years, she has pioneered a new way of thinking about disease and health that has transformed the way we imagine health care and self-care around the world. In a voice that is both practical and inspiring, she shares her own extraordinary stories and eternal wisdom from her early childhood in India and chance encounter with Mahatma Gandhi to her life as a physician and a mother of six children, to her survival of both heartbreak and illness. And she doesn’t just look backward, she looks forward at age 102.

The topic is her book The Well-Lived Life: A 102-Year-Old Doctor’s Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Defining juice
• The idea of dominion
• Work ethic
• 5 L’s
• Perspective on the current American medical system
• Understanding Eastern vs. Western medicine

Hi Mike,

I know you are fascinated with “the flow state” of mind after listening to a number of your guests talk about the subject. I was on a WWII kick the past week and saw this interview with Major Dick Winters who was famously portrayed in HBOs Band of Brothers. This 5-minute video has him talking about his famous lone assault on 100 SS troops in Holland. In this interview he describes a state of mind he’s only been in once in his life; the world is in slow motion, except for him. It’s a fascinating story that he himself really can’t explain. I bet your former guests, who are experts in the flow state, would love to hear of this example.

Amazing what the mind and body are capable of in extreme situations.

Cheers,
Wes

Thanks!

Hi Michael,

I wanted to get a bit of additional information on trend trading. I’ve read “The Complete TurtleTrader” quite some time ago, and more recently I’ve started listening to your podcasts, which I will say, I really enjoy. I like your perspective and feel there is somewhat of a shared mindset with some of your comments. I’ve also just ordered your book “Trend Following” from Amazon, which should arrive any day.

I am a financial advisor in Northern California, although at this point, it would be primarily for my personal account.

While I am willing and able to put in the time to learn or develop a trend system, I would like to know how much time I can expect to spend in implementing and running a trend following system – basically, so I know what I am getting into.

Any additional information, direction, or readings would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Michael, Biggest challenge [on trading] is not being sure when to get into a trade and secondly not getting out of a trade fast enough and losing. Maybe inexperienced, maybe thinking things will turn around.

Regards,
Allan B.

You need a system. Start with my FAQs below.

My biggest challenge I faced with my trading is finding out what are the best indicators for 5 minutes and 15 minutes charts.

Currently, I am reading up on ADX and DeMarker but they are more suited for 30 minutes and higher time frame charts.

Once I know which indicators to use (5 min chart), then I can stick to the buy and sell signals including stop-loss and lot size.

I would stop all of that. ASAP. Dead end. It will never work. Ever.
